You don't like Feaster's drafting?

Also, a little premature, but I like your moxy.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Drafting *well*, Drafting well is too mainstream.

Interesting move by Dallas with regards to Sharp, I guess Chicago has enough money to sign Oduya now.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Clearly Dallas is modelling their roster after the Oilers.

Dallas still has a better team and better goalers(kind of)

I don't know if I agree, I think Edmonton will finish higher than Dallas this year. I actually like their defence more, but I'd pick Dallas' goaltending. If the Oilers forwards will commit to playing a 2-way game, I think their roster is better.

Dallas finished with 92 points last season and where 6th in their division and missed by 7 points. Colorado finished 2 points behind them as well. I don't think the beat out any of the Central teams. If the Oilers surpass Dallas this season I will be impressed.

I think I still go with this roster for now. In 2-4 years, I will be swaying to Edmonton.


Benn - Seguin - Nichushkin
Sharp - Spezza - Hemsky
McKenzie - Eakin - Ritchie
Roussel - Fiddler - Sceviour

Goligoski - Klingberg
Nemeth - Demers
Oleksiak - Jokipakka

I didn't make the meme, just posted it . Didn't really notice it tbh.

Dallas was largely let down by their defence and goaltending (emphasis on goaltending; Lehtonen sucked). I'm too lazy to check, but I believe the Stars scored the 2nd most goals in the reg. season and still only had a goal differential of +1 or something ridiculous like that.

Honestly, they're a dark horse for me this season along with Columbus

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

If Spezza had a better laugh, Dallas would have made the ploffs last season.

Huuhuuhuuhuuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Stewart to Ducks on a 1 year deal per Strickland.

 

[CraigsList]

Sorry if this has already been posted, but this is pure gold .

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh yes, Sven, because you've proven yourself as a full-time NHLer.

Hilarious if true.

 

[Taranis]

To be fair he did put up good numbers for the AHL Comets.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

The Sven countdown to Europe is on.

Dude is a 22 year old winger he needs to make a mark. Not saying i'm on his side but I get it.

It's just... he's waiver eligible. The club already has incentive to not send him down. But asking for a one-way deal is Sven basically trying to add to that and say if he is so bad that he forces them to put him on waivers, they still have to pay him like an NHLer.

You aren't wrong, but it's the same old story and him expecting to be gifted minutes. Really should have been an Oiler.

When would Sven be eligible for arbitration? After this season?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Player elected is 25 I thought. Could be wrong though.

 

[Calculon]

Non-issue.

This is a pretty standard ask. See Mark Giordano who wouldn't sign without one after all of 55 NHL games as a bottom pairing defensemen.
